Patient's question:
What medication is good for prostatitis? A friend went to the hospital for a health check-up and was diagnosed with this condition. They received a lot of medication from the hospital, but it hasn't been effective. What kind of medication should be taken for prostatitis? I hope to get the right answer and help. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is generally treatable with a combination of antibiotic medications and traditional Chinese medicine. However, the specific choice depends on individual examination results, which should include a routine prostatic fluid test and a bacterial culture. These tests can determine which antibiotic is most effective, making the decision more effective. In terms of traditional Chinese medicine, it primarily involves various herbs that clear heat, promote diuresis, and resolve stagnation.
